That's the problem. The filenames show up, but their icons are displayed as a dotted outline (no icon), no file path is displayed at the bottom of the Search window, and essentially there is no way I can find to access the files. When something goes wrong while saving a stack, Rev creates a backup file with the hope being one can recover work from the backup. I think these are the same files files, but when a save executes successfully, something is done to them so they don't show up normally in the Finder.
